Bailey and Katy came to us as rescues. We lost Bailey in June of 2016. We were blessed to have Annie join us in August of 2016. They have brought great love and joy to our immediate family and to extended family and friends. This blog will share their stories and issues related to Shelties. Some told from their perspective and others told from those that share this journey with them.

Thankful Thursday: Air Conditioning

After a very hot and stormy Tuesday night, Dog Dad installed the upstairs Air Conditioner, Wednesday. He is going to install the downstairs A/C this morning before he heads off to work.

Mom and Dad always go back and forth, about how long they can hold out before putting in the window A/C's. The upside is it cuts down on the heat in the house and with two furry dogs, this is important. The down side is on cooler, windy days, you lose the opportunity to cool off the house using those windows. Some day Mom hopes to replace the window units with central air. That would allow Mom to open up when it’s nice and cool off when it’s just too hot.

That is always the dilemma! I love opening windows on a cool day, but I can't stand being all hot and sticky in my house! Our air conditioners have been in for a few weeks. Although, we haven't used them every day. So we could have waited a bit longer. Ah well! My huskies love them, and always take a spot right underneath the windows to cool down. Thanks for linking up with us!ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!

We haven't pulled out the a/c yet, but probably will sometime in July - that seems to be the routine. As usual, our June is fairly cold (14°C/57°F today) and rainy, so we're not quite there yet. But I say as soon as you start to think you need it, do it! With Moses and Alma, they definitely appreciate it and lay right in front of the a/c on hot summer days.

We have wall units in the living room and master bedroom. Since we live in an elevated area I got away without using the air until yesterday!

We installed a window unit in the room Sampson and I share last night, but thankfully it has two windows so on the days/nights when it's nice I can still access that. I too hope to have central air someday.
